Starting or completing a trip

When you actualize a stop, you mark it as Completed. You can complete stops for a trip from the Call On Demand Order Entry window or the Deadhead/Trip Editor window.

From the Card Planner or Planning Worksheet you can jump to the Call On Demand Order Entry window or the Deadhead/Trip Editor window right from within the Assignment Plan pane.

  1. These procedures describe manually actualizing stops. Stops can be automatically actualized with the use of TotalMail(tm), which processes and records information exchanged between trucks and dispatchers. The license is sold separately from TMWSuite and Fuel Dispatch. For more information, contact Trimble Sales at 216.831.6606.

  2. You must have a driver, tractor, and trailer assigned to actualize stops in the Card Planner or Planning Worksheet. For trucks with an integrated cargo area, actualize stops in the Call On Demand Order Entry window.

Using the Deadhead/Trip Editor window

Use this procedure to complete a stop on a driver’s planned trip by accessing the Deadhead/Trip Editor from the main menu, or from within the Card Planner or Planning Worksheet.
